The Georgia run-off elections can continue to make history and usher in a new era for politics in the Peach State. Primed to become a figure for the transition is Reverend Raphael Warnock, representing the Democratic Party and set to become the first Black senator in the state’s history and the 10th Black senator in the history of our country.
During the November election, the two Republican senators did not draw a majority of the vote, creating a runoff election that is occurring in January. The election will determine which of America’s two major political parties will have control over the Senate. The result of the election will come two weeks before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. With an election win, Rev. Warnock will become an instrumental party of a Senate that will assist in legislation led by Biden.
